How the Vices are Impacting Your Skin

How the Vices are Impacting Your Skin

You might not realize it, but your daily activities could be showing an effect on the largest organ of your body: your skin. While we all enjoy the occasional vice, they can cause everything from large pores to premature wrinkles. GOA skincare knows that you want to look as confident and capable as you feel while still being able to enjoy the occasional night out, so we’ve created a skincare line developed for men that will help keep your skin and face looking their best.


Before we get into how Anti-Vice Products can help you how to reclaim your skin from years of neglect and enjoy your vices without looking the part, let’s take a quick look at how your vices may be affecting your skin:


Alcohol

After a hard week of work or while enjoying a sports outing, many of us reach for a cold drink to help us relax and unwind. The problem is that the same drink may be having negative effects on your skin. Alcohol consumption increases oil production, which can lead to enlarged pores, and a vascular dilator, which can lead to redness. Due to alcohol’s nature, it also dehydrates the skin, which could lead to premature aging and a lack of elasticity. Alcohol is also dehydrating, so it can leave you with dark circles and eye bags. 

Smoking

Whether you can’t imagine life without your cigar club meetings, or you are exposed to secondhand smoke in your environment, smoke could be wreaking havoc on your skin. Exposure to smoke may cause your skin to look sallow, increase acne or appear dry. The nutrients robbed from your skin by smoke can lead to premature aging, fine lines and loss of collagen and elastin.


Late Nights, Stress  and Lack of Sleep

If you’re working hard on a deadline or stressed about major life changes, it will likely show on your skin. During stressful times, the body naturally increases oil production, which can lead to larger pores and acne. Blood flow to the surface of the skin is restricted and in turn cell regeneration is slowed down, which may leave your skin to appear dull. Dry, nutrient-starved skin is the breeding ground for wrinkles and fine lines, especially around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.


Sun

Enjoying your days at the beach or taking up a sports hobby are great ways to relieve that stress and get some exercise, but it exposes your skin to a lot of sun. As great as it is, you’re eventually going to experience the negative effects this will have on your skin. Sun exposure can lead to redness, irritation, and dryness of the face while actively breaking down the collagen bonds that keep your skin looking youthful. This may lead to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
